GA Telesis launches “iGEAR” program to address airline needs for aftermarket reliability and cost savings

GA Telesis, reported the launch of iGEAR (Intelligent Global Engine & Airframe Replenishment), as an enhancement to the company’s portfolio of current program services. Through iGEAR, GA Telesis will be capable of a customizable program covering flight-hour and supply-chain programs that will combine component supply-chain with aerostructure and engine maintenance for commercial airline fleets. GA Telesis’s Component Solutions Group will leverage its US$200m inventory to provide consistent program-based engine supply chain solutions, as well as airframe flight hour rotable repair and exchange support; both of which can be tied to an engine services agreement with comprehensive engine overhaul and maintenance. As part of iGEAR programs, GA Telesis’s Composite Repair Group, Component Repair Group Southeast and GA Telesis Engine Services divisions will provide competitive repair services to reduce inventory ownership costs for airlines in need of customizable repair management solutions. Dedicated AOG support will be offered with iGEAR programs, utilizing the company’s Live AOG service center. The Company intends to announce its launch customer at AW’s MRO Americas 2016 in Dallas, TX.
